Barbour Lewis, having carried the district in 1872 by 3700 majority. His defeat to-day is attributed to the Civil Rights bill and the well known conserva tism of Colonel Young. Many Republicans, both white and black, have voted and worked for the latter. Later returns from this Congressional district indicate that Col. Young's, Dem., majority will reach 3o00. Telegrttms to Uie Appeal and Avalanche show that Caldwell, Dem., is elected over Mnnn in the Ninth district, and Whitthorne, Dem., in the Sixth, by 5 00 majority.

Question Is there a rule in the telegraph offices to allow heads of Departments to examine dispatches sent by their subordinates where the cost of dispatches is charged to the Department? , Answer I have no positive knowledge of such a rule, but such was my understanding, and on that hypothesis I made application to Mr. Orton, and he stated to me that th practice was to allow copies of Government telegram to be taken, and he furnished them. The remainder of the session to recess was occupied in argument as to whether Mr. Hayes be allowed to testify. After recess the Jndge decided that Mrs. Hays eonld not testify.

But, hitherto, we have misused our mother tongue. Though we know it not, superlatives, ere this, have been wretchedly out of niace. Privately. I am inclined to think that some of tbe masculine hat houses, having bad large stocks of felts left over for a season or two past, must have disposed of them cheaply to milliners, who agreed to bring them out as something novel for women. Cer tain it is mat no shadow of diHerence can be detected between a maioritv of the new feminine head coverings and the aoft sum mer lelts worn by men. Thev are identi cal even to the narrow-repped ribbon binding, and the band around the crown. There are, of course, variations of the high-crowned, mannish style; but that pievaila, and may well be considered the style of the season. Indeed, certain eco nomical persons are trimming and fresh ening their husbands' last summer bats, thereby rendering themselves modish and thriftful at the same time. The brims of the hats are unwired, and thereby offer an irresistible opportunity for jaunt, and pokes : and dents, which ia eagerly em braced by the trimmers. , ' An Enormous Rlock of Coal. Cumberland (Md.) News. ' A conspicuous article on exhibition at the fair is a mammoth lum p of coal, which weighs 3420 pounds net, or 60 pounds more than a ton and a half. It was mined in the Swanton mine at Barton, of which Ar chibald McDonald esq. is superintendent. The work of removing it from the car, and thence to the Fair grounds, was the lavor oi superintendent Venners, who kindly furnished a large rolling mill iron wagon for the purpose, and gave the ser vices of a number of men, who acted under his direction. It was noeasy job, but requiring great care to get it out safely, out was accomplished. The coal and wagon together weighed 4196 pounds. This lump, which was mined half a mile from the opening of the mine, and perhaps onefourthof a mile from the surface, was sent to take the premium offered for the beat specimen of coal mined in the country, "exhibited" on the Fair grounds in one lump of notless than 300 pounds in weight, and JpSaWfr certainly take it. Production of lee in Mild Winter. It is sugeested that, bv filling suitably constructed sheet iron vessels to tbe depth oi about an inch with water, it, will soon freeze, even when the temperature is but little below the freezing point, and that by repeating the addition of water as tbe first portions become frozen, blocks of the clearest ice, six inches thick, may be formed during a night ; and when the temperature by day is suitable, a single laborer will be able to fill a large ice-house in a short time. By pouring water which has been cooled in the vessels nearly to the freezing point over tbe ice after it has been packed, at suitable intervals, when the temperature of tbe air is below the freezing point, a compact mass of ice may be formed of more value for pse thsn a much larger quantity loosely packed. Even in winters favorable to the produc tion of ice, the above method may be lound the most convenient and the cheap est for filling ice-houses. : Okie Patents.

Plants, it was held, grow in order to upply animals with food, and to make life passible for them; the activities of vegetal life produced the immediate principles of food, and animal life destroyed them; tbe various excretions of animal ' were the natural ferment nf iil I if. and tbe latter purified the air, contaminated by animal emanations; finally, i that function of the organism which is most continuous, namely, respiration, consisted, In animals, in the absorption of oxygen, followed h borne acid, while in plants it consisted in the absorption of carbonio acid, followed by exhalationdf oxygen. In this way tbe respiration of plants would decompose the carbonio acid produced by the , respiration of animals, thus - preserving the normal constitution of, the atmosphere., -,, . : .... ,, r New Advert Bmeiit.

But, hitherto, we have misused our mother tongue. Though we know it not, superlatives, ere this, have been wretchedly out of niace. Privately. I am inclined to think that some of tbe masculine hat houses, having bad large stocks of felts left over for a season or two past, must have disposed of them cheaply to milliners, who agreed to bring them out as something novel for women. Cer tain it is mat no shadow of diHerence can be detected between a maioritv of the new feminine head coverings and the aoft sum mer lelts worn by men. Thev are identi cal even to the narrow-repped ribbon binding, and the band around the crown. There are, of course, variations of the high-crowned, mannish style; but that pievaila, and may well be considered the style of the season. Indeed, certain eco nomical persons are trimming and fresh ening their husbands' last summer bats, thereby rendering themselves modish and thriftful at the same time. The brims of the hats are unwired, and thereby offer an irresistible opportunity for jaunt, and pokes : and dents, which ia eagerly em braced by the trimmers. , ' An Enormous Rlock of Coal. Cumberland (Md.) News. ' A conspicuous article on exhibition at the fair is a mammoth lum p of coal, which weighs 3420 pounds net, or 60 pounds more than a ton and a half. It was mined in the Swanton mine at Barton, of which Ar chibald McDonald esq. is superintendent. The work of removing it from the car, and thence to the Fair grounds, was the lavor oi superintendent Venners, who kindly furnished a large rolling mill iron wagon for the purpose, and gave the ser vices of a number of men, who acted under his direction. It was noeasy job, but requiring great care to get it out safely, out was accomplished. The coal and wagon together weighed 4196 pounds. This lump, which was mined half a mile from the opening of the mine, and perhaps onefourthof a mile from the surface, was sent to take the premium offered for the beat specimen of coal mined in the country, "exhibited" on the Fair grounds in one lump of notless than 300 pounds in weight, and JpSaWfr certainly take it. Production of lee in Mild Winter. It is sugeested that, bv filling suitably constructed sheet iron vessels to tbe depth oi about an inch with water, it, will soon freeze, even when the temperature is but little below the freezing point, and that by repeating the addition of water as tbe first portions become frozen, blocks of the clearest ice, six inches thick, may be formed during a night ; and when the temperature by day is suitable, a single laborer will be able to fill a large ice-house in a short time. By pouring water which has been cooled in the vessels nearly to the freezing point over tbe ice after it has been packed, at suitable intervals, when the temperature of tbe air is below the freezing point, a compact mass of ice may be formed of more value for pse thsn a much larger quantity loosely packed. Even in winters favorable to the produc tion of ice, the above method may be lound the most convenient and the cheap est for filling ice-houses. : Okie Patents.

Plants, it was held, grow in order to upply animals with food, and to make life passible for them; the activities of vegetal life produced the immediate principles of food, and animal life destroyed them; tbe various excretions of animal ' were the natural ferment nf iil I if. and tbe latter purified the air, contaminated by animal emanations; finally, i that function of the organism which is most continuous, namely, respiration, consisted, In animals, in the absorption of oxygen, followed h borne acid, while in plants it consisted in the absorption of carbonio acid, followed by exhalationdf oxygen. In this way tbe respiration of plants would decompose the carbonio acid produced by the , respiration of animals, thus - preserving the normal constitution of, the atmosphere., -,, . : .... ,, r New Advert Bmeiit.
